Performance and User Experience

The IVG Smart 5500 unsurprisingly provides a smooth and satisfying vape (similar to its older brother the IVG 2400) while its high-capacity battery ensures that the device runs through multiple refills without needing to recharge. The compact and ergonomic design allows it to sit nicely in your hand while comfortably concealing itself in your pocket, something we found difficult with the 2400.

Setup has been made a breeze! Simply remove all packaging and slot the 10ml refill container into the kit. The container will then lock into place and cannot be removed. This feature allows the container's spout to face downwards, solving the issue that most kits of this type face which is constantly having to tip the device upside down in order to fill the 2ml chamber.

Opinion

From a user's perspective, the IVG Smart 5500 offers a refined and more user-focused design compared to other “big puff” disposables of its kind. As previously mentioned this is largely thanks to the locking and self-feeding container design. A slight drawback of this being that once fitted with a juice container, there is no option to swap.

However this really isn't a big deal in my opinion as the kit is meant as a fixed-coil disposable device, and the pod containers are not sold separately (for now at least). The massive assortment of flavour options ensures that there is something for everyone, whether you prefer fruity, minty, or classic blue razz flavours. The 20mg nicotine salt e-liquid lends itself to a smooth throat hit and rapid satisfaction, making it an excellent choice for those looking to switch from traditional cigarettes.

However, there are a few considerations to keep in mind. The 1000mAh battery, while long-lasting, requires a USB Type-C charger which is not included in the kit. This might be a minor inconvenience for some users. Additionally, while the device is designed for ease of use, setting up the device might be a new experience for those used to traditional disposables.

Conclusion

Overall, the IVG Smart 5500 Disposable Vape is an impressive little kit that offers both convenience and performance. Its perfected design and extensive flavour options make it a top choice for anyone looking to enhance their disposable vape experience, while the high capacity saves you money and reduces the environmental impact of disposable devices. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced vaper, the IVG Smart 5500 is definitely worth considering for your next vape purchase.
